@Thill029 who says I should consider doing more videos about climate crap. I've done a video called, "Environmentalism: the New Religion," so I don't know how much further I could go. I insult and degrade environmentalism every chance I get. However, I'll keep an eye out for more ways and places to insult and harass them. In my view, Climate Gate has done a great deal of damage to their agenda...

I've put the subject of peer review and consensus on my "videos to-do" list, though I'm afraid I won't get to it until January...

Apparently a British newspaper published an article accusing Canada of being evil and suggested we be kicked out of the Commonwealth because we havn't lived up to their standards of greenhouse gas reduction. Now of course most Canadians will be utterly distraught that the Europeans are mad at us and will use this as a reason to vote in the Liberal party again. Mr. Cropper I think you should do more videos about this man-made climate change bullshit!

Mr Cropper I appreciate your sentiments in the einstein and global warming video. However, could you then elaborate on the place that peer review, the idea of consenus, should hold in science.

MrCropper, I see that you are YouTube Friends with "ARI films," which is not only not the Ayn Rand Institute, but actually produces philosophy videos that are Platonic and Kantian. Hehe. :-P

On forming an Objectivist meetup group. Fliers around campus is a good way to get the word out. In my experience, it is hard to get Objectivists to do group stuff, so most will only come to a meet once in a while, if at all. In other words, there aren't many Objectivists to start with, and the few that exist don't set a high priority on meeting with groups. That said, don't give up, because there are few things you can do with your time that would be more useful to you in the long run.

I'll do a short video on String Theory soon, but for now, I'll say this: a theory is an explanation of a body of facts. There aren't any facts at the base of String "Theory" so it fails the most essential test of a good theory - to start with facts. String Theory is a mathematical construct and is untestable.

I'm attempting to form a meet up/discussion group for objectivism in general. I currently live near the campus of University of Louisiana at Lafayette which has approximately 20,000 students. As it is, I plan on putting up fliers all around campus and creating a myspace/facebook for online networking. I know you've had success in meeting other objectivists in the NYC area. Do you have any suggestions or ideas for forming a group in a smaller, more rural area?

mr cropper, you should get a justin tv account and do live broadcasts. it would be awesome, and you might get more people donating.

When it comes to any Theory about String, I ask, "Where's the spool?" ^_^
